Our contact database supports a many-to-many relationship between Organizations, Contacts, Opportunities, Appointments, Tasks, Project Management Tasks and Cases (database entities).
To Create or Change a relationship (contact to contact, contact to organization, or organization) begin at the Edit-Detail page for one of the entities. For this example we will use a Contact to Organization change.
